Australia Waking The Spirit - Terry Oldfield
From the ever present symphony of nature that seems to emanate from the very earth itself comes the sound of the didgeridoo. It acts as a seed from which emerges a rich soundscape of melody and rhythm that develops in harmony with the listener's imagined landscape of an ancient land we call Australia.
The distant drone of the didgeridoo ushers in the primitive and shimmering tones of Australia, a deeply felt and passionate tribulte to the aboriginal cuture. Exotic birdsong mingles amongst the magic of music and chant as the vaporous haze of the outback is conjured up in layers of vibrating texture. Terry Oldfied's deep sense of respect for the indigenous population can be felt as sections of rythmic intensity invoke Injuwandjuwa, the spirit of the Dreamtime, and emphasise the nature of a life rooted in ritual. An authentic, moving, musical tribute that resonates across the spacious landscape of our most ancient and most beautiful memories.
